About this audio guide
This guide to Albert Cuyp Markt in Amsterdam follows André Hazes, an eight-year-old boy from the working-class De Pijp neighborhood who sang among the stalls in 1959 to earn money for his mother's birthday. You'll hear how a well-known Dutch comedian noticed him, what came of his first television appearance, and the seventeen years of odd jobs that followed before he wrote the song that changed everything. Look for his statue on the corner as you walk the market's three hundred stalls.
